TAXPAYER ALERT !!
Just
when you thought that taxes couldn’t get much worse---guess
what?
THE TAX and SPEND CARMAN-AINSWORTH SCHOOL
BOARD WANTS YOU TO INCREASE YOUR TAXES TWELVE (12%) PERCENT BY
VOTING FOR A
$ 49,750,000.00 TAX INCREASE FOR 25 YEARS
THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER WILL PAY $210.00 MORE
EACH YEAR PLUS INCREASES EVERY YEAR FOR 25 YEARS.
INFLATION RATE FOR 2001 WAS
3.4%.
IN 2001 SCHOOL SALARIES PAYABLE INCREASED 6.6%
THE
SUPERINTENDANT’S SALARY OF APPROXIMATELY $108,000.00 YEARLY
FOR A STUDENT BODY OF ABOUT 5,000. THIS FIGURE,
COMPARED
WITH THE NATIONAL MEDIAN OF $113,000.00 FOR A STUDENT BODY OF 25,000
OR MORE, IS EXTRAVAGANT TO SAY THE LEAST.
(refer to the
book ‘Dumbing Down’ & also The Flint Journal)
THIS
TAX INCREASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TEACHERS OR TEACHING.
44% of this
mileage increase is to expand classrooms…..
Carman-Ainsworth enrollment has only increased 85 students in
more than 11 years.
REVENUES
IN FROM PROPERTY TAXES INCREASED 18% IN 2001.
CARMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT GETS 12% OF THESE REVENUES.
SAY ‘NO’ TO THIS HUGE TAX INCREASE !
TAXES DOMINATE
FAMILY BUDGETS
Ø The
typical family pays more in taxes than it spends on food,
clothing, and shelter combined!
Ø Taxpayers
work January 1st to May 7th to earn enough money to pay
all federal, state, and local taxes.
Ø The
typical worker now toils nearly three hours out of an eight-
hour workday just to pay taxes.
